I am reading the manga. Or I was before I caught up. There are two manga adaptations with the second being the story continuation since the author changed studio companies. The second one was last updated February 2024, so I don't know if it will continue or not. Usually with anime adaptation of manga, that causes the manga to be updated faster for promotional purposes, so since this anime just came out I hope this causes the translators to sky rocket the manga to update.
Another really good episode imho. Yeah, I think there's definitely going to be a couple more girls introduced later in the season if the OP is any indication. And while romance may get touched on briefly, I think this season is going to be more comedy and cosplay focused.
Really good premiere imho. I liked your video review, though the description of the video seems to tell a very different story... is someone else doing your video descriptions? You're rating the premiere only a 2.5 out of 10 yet you are highly recommending it? If there is a different person doing the descriptions, that person should be aware that the VA for the MC (Masamune) does go with a bit softer voice in the second episode (not as much yelling) but changing his mindset of only wanting a relationship with 2D girls is one of the main themes of the show so that change is likely to happen slowly over a long period of time.
Lady otaku here! I absolutly love the vibe this series has. Reminds me back in the day when i would gush over Naga from "Slayers" and designs from Jungle De ikou" i wanted to cosplay them so bad years ago. This show makes me wanna cosplay again. Lol
